Ryan blinked looking at pepper. He keep on staring at her for some time and said," I agree ", all Avengers looked at him baffled. Tony even comically dropped the pen he is holding and looked at Ryan then asked," I maybe hallucinating that McLaren here agreed to be adopted by pepper".
Steve said," you're not hallucinating. I also heard that ", Natasha asked Ryan," why do you agree so quickly? Ryan looked at her and said," I can feel the emotions of those around me. She has no malice towards me. So I agreed ".
Tony asked," did you say you can feel the emotions of those around you? ", Ryan nodded with a blink while Bruce pondered and said," then can you tell me what I'm feeling now?", Ryan looked at banner and said," you're giving two kinds of different vibes. First is a calmness with vigilance for something and second is like a child with rage and irritation throwing tantrums ".
Banner looked baffled and said," you mean hulk is also feeling emotions too ", Ryan shrugged while Thor asked," then tell me what I'm feeling now?", Ryan said," you're curious and amused ", pepper said," okay everyone calm down. Ryan, take rest. And Tony I want you to stop acting all paranoid. He is just a kid ".
Tony looked at her and said," yeah just a kid. A kid who blasted Thor and hulk out with a punch ", Thor on the other hand thought something and said," I don't know how you will judge people by I have my own method ", Thor placed his hammer on the table and said," my father enchanted this hammer with magic. Only people with good heart and worth can pick this up, if they're not worthy the hammer will not even budge. And those who lift this hammer will get the power of Thor. I want to see if this kid can lift this ".
Stark in the side said," oh don't be ridiculous Thor. There is no such thing as magic ", Thor though didn't care about stark and said to Ryan," try it boy. Let's see if you're worthy of the hammer ", Ryan looked Thor who urged him and picked up the hammer. He lifted it while Thor opened his mouth in surprise.
Tony on the side joked," so now we have a new Thor ", he then sneered and said," kid give that hammer to me. I'll prove point break here is just joking ", Ryan placed the hammer back and said," get it yourself ", he then walked back to the bed. Tony tried lifting the hammer and even used his but failed.
Other avengers tried too. But failed except Natasha who find it childish and didn't participate. Pepper looked at Tony and said," So it's settled. He will be my adopted brother from now on ", Tony only nodded and said," I'll go and take care of the procedures ".
Pepper pulled Ryan into an embrace and asked," don't worry about Tony. He is a little timid but he is a good guy. I'll ask my secretary to bring you more clothes. You'll also get 2000 dollars a month as pocket money. I could give you more but I'm afraid I'll spoil you. So if you need something you can't buy with that, you can ask me or Tony ".
Pepper then told him," you'll also need to join school and learn things ", Ryan though frowned and said," no need ", pepper shook her head and said," you'll need to learn how to blend into society. Go and make friends in school, enjoy being a teen", Ryan just nodded.

It appeared in front of him when he is trapped in that vault built by hydra. Ryan thought he is hallucinating at that time. As Ryan is pondering what to do next. A woman delivered few bags of clothes to him. That evening pepper handed a bank card to him along with his legal ID's which are remade. And the screen also changed his name from Ryan McLaren to Ryan Potts.
